THE PANAmA CANAL,

If anything more were needed to convince
people that the Panama canal enterprise is in
bad way it is furnished by the statement
made by M. Boulange, one of the company's
own engineers, at the last meeting Of the
American society of Civil Engineers. "We
have funds enough on hand" said NJ. Bou-
lange, "to continue the work about four
months. After the money is exhausted I
think De Lesseps will be forced to abandon
the enterprise for good or for some years at
least. The scarcity of money, impracticabil-
ity of the present route, and unexpected
obstacles are reasons sufficient" Only 30,-
0OO, 900 cubic metres out of 140, ,000, 900 cubic
metres have been excavated. OF the great
cut, which is to be 31s feet in depth, only
SO feet have been dug out. The engineers
are hampered by the lack of adequate maps
and profi1es of the canal, a considerable por-
ton of which runs through swamps which
have not yet been surveyed. Nothing has
been done in Colon harbor, though about 16
miles of the canal route thence have been
opened up He confirms the report that
dredge did not shift its position for six weeks
because it was kept at work churning out
the sliding clay. The climate makes it ex-
ceedingly difficult to get common laborers,
sixty per cent. of those employed dying an
nually. The mortality among the whites is
eighty per cent Of seventy-two engineers,
agents and clerks sent to Panama last year
by the company only eleven are now fit for
work.
And SO forth and 80 on. If the canal
should ever be finished it would cost three or
four times what has already been expended
and would never pay,

DEDIUATION DAY.

Yesterday was great day for New Haven
and it far surpassed the expectation of most
of those who had been reading about it for
weeks No such parade has ever been seen
in this city, and the long line made bright,
varied and snowy appearance, keeping the
interest of the thousands of spectators con-
stantly excited and at times arousing enthu-
siasm. The crowd was an inllisnse one, but
thoroughly good natured and well behaved.
No serious accident occurred to mar the
beauty and the enjoyment of the brilliant
scene, and surprisingly few minor mishaps
are reported. The exercises at the rock
were appropriate, and the Grafton by Rev.
Newman Smyth was especially fitting. = =
Dedication day will be long and pleasantly
remembered. Those who have worked SO
hard to make it success are entitled to even
more credit than thew will receiye

What Judye Cooley Thinks.

Bradstreet's Journal prints statements
from n number OF railroad men on the
effect OF the interstate commerce bill, if it
should become d. law. Judge Cooley OF
Chicago says: The effect OF the bill upon
the existing rates and traffic
agreements will depend so much upon
the commissioners who shall be appointed
to carry the law into effect, that specula-
ton in advance OF the appointment must
be somewhat hazardous. do not believe
that rates in general will be much affected,
but they will probably be more equal as
between large and small shippers. The
long and short haul clause will make nec-
essarilly an equalization in some cases,
which at competing points will raise exist
ing rates. Traffic arrangements be-
tween the roads must now assume
new forms. With the abolition OF
the pooling, some portion OF the existing
machinery devised for the preservation OF
rates may Ike dispensed with, but some
common agency at the leading railway
centers, whose business it shall be to pre-.
serve friendly relations between the roads,
and the statistics which are now collected
Tor the general use OF the managers will be
as useful as ever, but to what extent the
existing machinery of management is to be
modified no one can yet say; it must be
determined gradually and experimentally.

Attitude Of the Catholic Church.

Rt Rev. Stephen Vincent Ryan, Catholic
bishop OF Buffalo, has written a worry
strong pastoral letter, which was read in
all the churches OF the diocese. He says:
The working masses and moneyed aris-
tocracy may look for even-handed
and impartial treatment at the hands
OF Gods church, yet no one can
fail to see where her sympathy lies. or
to whom her heart goes out in the tender.
est affection. Honest and Industrious
work, the bone and sinew of the nation,
the chur blesses you. But should you,
in spite OF her warning voice, fly in the d.
vine law, aim blow at society. be carried
away by anti-social, anarchical, immoral,
and irreligious theories, no matter by
whom propounded or by whom defended,
you certainly may expect the church's con.
domination swift and sure, leaving monu.
ment as striking as Babel's tower on the
plains OF Shinar, and of the supreme folly
OF building in opposition to the Almighty.
